The Indian method of grinding carries
one back to the Bible. l remember when
1 was a little boy being very much puz-
zled with the saying, 1.-TWO ONE were
grinding at a mill; the one shall be taken
and the other left" My ideas of mills
were confined to wind mills and water
mills, and in neither case could 1 under
stand what functions ''two women" were
required to perform. But a single visit
to an Indian bazaar will probably make
the parable clear, for the visitor can
scarcely fail to see several sets of women
at work, sitting in an open shop or by
the street. The instrument employed
consists of two small mill stones. In the
upper one, toward the edge of it, is fixed
an upright stick about n foot long. The
two women sit On opposite sides of the
stones, each grasping the upright stick
with one hand, and working together
they turn the stone, just as two men
sometimes work together on a windlass.
With their free hands they feed in the
corn, and the flour, as it is thrown out
by the stones, spreads out on the floor
beside them.-Harold Cox.

To Close Out by Sent. L.

Cowhick & Whitcomb have now deter
mined to completely clean out their stock
by Sept. l. This will give them about
fifteen days time in which to close out,
and in order to accomplish their purpose
prices will be dropped away below the
figures at which goods have been sold
during the past few days. Great bar
gains may yet be secured. This applies
particularly to dress goods and shoes for
ladies and gentlemen. Those in need OF
anything in these lines would do well to
call at once while much yet remains to
select from. The prices will surely aston,
ish them.

INTERVIEWING OFFICIALS.
Engineer Bogue Says Reliable
Information Is Not O%btainabIe.


V. q. Bogue, chief engineer of the
umon Pacific railway, was in town all
day yesterday. He left for the west in
his special car last evening, accompanied
by Messrs. Smeed and Mccartney, his
assistants. They are enroute to Soda
Springs, the new health resort on the
Oregon Short Line, which the Union
Pacific Is SO extensively advertising in
various ways at present.
MIR. Bogue, who is a practical printer
and newspaper man Of many years expe-
rlence, spent a greater part of his spare
time while in the city at THE LEADER
Office, and during his visits RECALLED the
attaches Of this establishment with enter
tanning anecdotes of incidents which had
come under his observation during an ex-
tended career in business. After relating
cxultingly how he was the most rapid
typesetter and expert pressman in the
village in which he learned the trade, Mr..
Bogue fell 10 commenting upon the pecu-
l~iarities of newspaper men in general and
reporters in particular.
Now, as a matter of fact" began the
chief engineer, neither myself nor any
other official except the general man
ager of the road ever knows anything OF a
contemplated move by the company prior
to twenty-four hours before IT'S Inaugural
ton, and if we did it would not be di.
vulged to a reporter or anyone else. A
man who intends to follow railroading as
a business must be as uncommunicative
about the affairs OF the ompau as a
deaf mute necessarily is. | expect that
10000 reporters have bored me fifteen
minutes each during the past ten years.
At first | invariably told them | knew
nothing of any importance whatever
about the proposed future actions of the
company. L gained a reputation for
crabbedness by this procedure aud finally
abandoned it and adopted the tactics of
President Adams, who will talk to news
paper men for hours and not say a word"
At this i%uncture THE LEADER reporter
queried Mr.. Bogue, Just for the fun of
the thing, as to the extension of the Chey-
n n & Northern and the reopening of
the Colorado Central. Potter told you
the other day Just the status of affairs on
those lines. Engineers are working on
the Denver-C Cheyenne line, while a locat-
ing party is selecting a route for the
Cheyenne & Northern beyond the Platte.
Exactly where the line will terminate will
not be definitely known for a year or
more. A great many people think that
it will connect Douglas and Cheyenne
before the and Of 1888, and perhaps it
will"

THF NEW CELLS.
The steel Apartments Being Placed in
Position.

MIR. Selby, agent for the Pauly Jail
Building and Manufacturing company, is
erecting the two fine steel cells recently
ordered by the board of commissioners
for the county Jail.
The new cells are models of beauty,
durability, utility and fine workmanship.
The sections comprising the apartments
were carried into the Jail by several short
term prisoners, who worked with a will.
The floors, terrace work and corridor walls
are in heavy sections, while the cell and
corridor doors weigh several hundred
pounds each.
Sheriff Sharpless is well pleased with
the purchase of the commissioners. He
estimates that each cell will comfortably
accommodate SIX occupants.
The new cells are each six feet six
inches wide, eight feet deep and seven
feet high, The corridor is thirteen feet
long, five feet wide and seven
feet high. When in position on top OF
the cage they will face the east.
Mr.. Selby promises to complete the
Job in four or five days, after which the
company he represents will be at liberty
to draw upon the county commissioners
for $1,000.

The PLAY To-

Held By the Enemy, Gillette's great
American play, which was so successful in
New York and San Francisco, will open
the Cheyenne opera house for the season
tonight. A great many seats have
already been disposed of and more will
be sold today. The play is thoroughly
American in character and sentiment,
while the cast embraces the leading artists
of the theatrical world in the United
States. Besides the inimitable Gillette,
who made such a great hit in the Pirate
Secretary, the company includes Mr..
Henry Miller, formerly leading man of
the Clara Morris company, and three
famous actresses.
The company will open the Tabor
grand opera house at Denver. The
papers of that city declare that the ad-
vance sale of seats is the largest in the
history of the opera house.

Cheyenne,s Mining Camp.

Work at Silver Crown is progressing
nicely. The smelter is treating an aver
age of sixteen tons of ore per day, and
the mat produced does not vary p~ercepti-
bly, with the assay made by W. c..
Knight for The LEADER, which was
$l6l.4i per ton. This figure insures the
success of the plant as a profitable invest
ment for all concerned. While it is an
excellent thing for the smelter to treat
500 or 600 tons of ore per month and
disburse the profits of the enterprise in
Cheyenne, it would be much better for
the work TO be prosecuted on a larger
scale. Let 100 foot shafts be sunk at
once, and a smelter with a capacity of say
100 tons per day be erected in Cheyenne.

The above named camp promises to be
of more direct and immediate value to
Cheyenne than anyone has yet antici-
pated.
The camp is in Colorado, about sixty
five miles from this city. Fifty men are
at present regularly employed there,
while many more are prospecting about
the hills in hat neighborhood. Nearly
all the supplies used in the camp are
hauled from this city. Even the saloon,
which is the only business house in the
place, is stocked with liquors purchased
from a Cheyenne firm.
This is quite remarkable for the reason
that Fort Collins, which is five miles
nearer than camp is a town of several
Thousand inhabitants The miners, pros.
pectors and mine owners trade in this city
for the reason that Cheyenne houses offer
better bargains than the Colorado mer
chants in the commodities needed in the
camp.

Nuuanu Cemetery.
To The Editoy ofMe Hs,ald..

To the Editot 0fthe Hstaid
Being present in the above cemetery
last week at burial, l took note Of
several matters, feel sure can be i'm
proved upon, and hope that the follow
ing suggestions will be taken by the
cemetery authorities in the same spirit
in which they are given.
Who does not know the shock it
gives you who may be already rudely
shaken by sudden bereavement to
hear the rasping Of the ropes as they
are being with more or less difficulty
pulled out from under the coffin, and
of the heavy dull thud Of the earth as
the first spadesful are thrown in upon
it. These painful features Of burial
can be materially relieved by reserving
the sod when digging the grave to be
first thrown in upon the coffin with an
armful added Of clean fresh grass-ol
which there is abundance which will
deaden the sound Of the falling clods.
There should be a few bricks pro.
vided to lay at the head and foot OIL
each gave upon which to lower and
rest the coffin, thus permitting the with
drawal Of the leather straps, which ]
should substitute for the present ropes
Finally, better respect for the feel
ings Of the mourners and friends of the
deceased would be showed and appre
ciated too, if the sexton and his assist
ant should don some more suitable
clothing after preparing the grave anC
before the conclusion of their sad work
